Order Only: Sam Fawcett again
I visited Sam Fawcett this morning. He let me in, poured me a cup of tea, and said he wanted to give me a list with some information my organisation might find useful. He hadn't wanted to write it out until I arrived. I can rather see why. It's a list of ten people in the camps.
1. Clifford Langworth, Exeter Camp.
2. Manish Gupta, Lincoln Camp.
3. Johannes Smith, Harlowe Camp.
All three are former members of the SAS, which I gather was sort of an elite military force the muggles had.
4. Joshua Tumber, Manchester Camp. He was apparently a combat medic in the British military.
5. Roger Harris, Porlock Camp. Was a trauma surgeon -- again, I gather a variety of muggle healer.
6. Meredith Crumley, Gloucestershire Camp. Meredith was a chemist, in the old days -- the sort that makes muggle medicines. Mostly they need facilities that are no longer available in the Protectorate but Meredith apparently had a hobby in herbalism and has made an extended project over the last decade of coming up with substitutions, some of which, Sam claimed, are very nearly potions in their own right.
7. Irene Young, Chipstead Camp. Despite her name, she's old, not young. Apparently she ran a fire watch station in the 1940s in London and is treated as the de facto leader by a large number of muggles. Sam didn't think we'd want to pull her out but thought we could probably make use of her where she is.
8. Odell Copeland, Llanfyllin Camp. Despite the not-particularly-Welsh name he's another influential one -- apparently he was a player on a local muggle sports team.
9. Margery Birdwhistle, Doncaster Camp. She was a Member of Parliament, before. Apparently she'd recently lost her seat, that's why she escaped notice. The other muggles in her camp apparently call her 'Minister.'
10. Tom Haddington, Sevenoaks Camp. This one's probably the most astonishing: he's a muggleborn wizard who's passed as a muggle all this time. He's nearly sixty years old. According to Sam -- I'm not sure how he found all this out -- Tumber got a Hogwarts letter all those years ago, but his parents insisted he go to a respectable school and not go gallivanting off messing about with magic, and so he never learnt to use his magic and never owned a wand. Sam spotted him because apparently Haddington did at some point teach himself quite a bit of runework and has been using it, discreetly, to keep vermin and illness at bay.
So. Sam handed over the list, took the letter from Sarah, and told me he's got quite a bit more where these came from but that if we want them, we'll have to let him in to our organisation. I told him we'd think about it.

We can certainly tell him things he could pass along to his other organization that would be of use, and give him objectives to accomplish without having to let him under the Lock or informing him fully about our operation at Moddey Dhoo just yet. And we could give him access to one of our safehouses and a way to reach us in an emergency, as well as a method of regular communication.
We'd risk angering him if he were to prove capable of full membership later and he found we were keeping things from him, but this might be a good solution in the short term given the security risks. And were he to be eligible for full membership, one would hope that part of being eligible would include understanding why we'd keep such things from him to begin with.
Remus, what do you think? Would that satisfy him?

I suppose we could give him a button.
